Stark State College has been recommended to receive $500,400 from the state, spokeswoman Irene Lewis Motts said.

The Ohio Higher Education Funding Commission on Thursday announced the capital projects it is recommending for funding.

The money would be used to renovate part of Stark State's campus to create a one-stop student center, which would allow students to one location to handle their enrolling, advising and financing needs, Motts said.

She said she didn't know when the state would make its final decision.
